thanks, I settled on a Dell XPS desktop with AMD chip. I have no idea 
what the motherboard is. This will be my 3rd XPS model. I have a 5 
year-old laptop & a 6 year old desktop. I got the laptop in Jan. 2006. I 
thought I got the desktop first, but it might have been later in 2006, I 
don't remember..
my current system is showing some age. I am having some video problems, 
remnants, dots across some screens, and I'm not sure about my main HD, 
according to the sensors, it should be burning up..:
